Build a Better Mouse Trap

The contest is to build a better mouse trap from standard Lego elements. Better means more reliable than spring traps and more humane than glue traps. Live trapping is preferred- I don’t hate these mice, I just want them gone from my house.

Prizes will be substantial, and will be announced soon. Please indicate here or by email if you plan to enter, so I can get an idea what the prizes actually should be. How about an RCX as a prize?

Hey - that sounds great! I’m definitely interested, but I I’m not going to commit until I have a bit more info. So... the plan is that we build it, and you test it??

No, you test it. I may or may not build one from your plans. Pictures or especially a movie of your trap in action will help you win.

also, about the prize, an RCX would be nice, but I already have 2. Maybe Bricklink credit?

‘BrickLink credit’ isn’t something I can give, other than in my own store, but some of the other prizes are here: http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=110275

At least one prize will be given away, probably more if there are good entires. Since I’m paying shipping, the 4400 tub may not be available in all areas. More prizes will be shown soon, stay tuned.

I’ll let you know soon, but count me in for now.

(...) The only problem with that is that it necessitates the entrants having/buying a mouse, and letting it run around... but I'll see about it. (...) Jeffery (19 years ago, 3-Apr-06, to lugnet.build.contests, FTX)
